Avalon Seawatch - December 11, 2011

Today was a tale of two halves at the Seawatch. A slow and chilly morning transitioned into a busy and (slightly) warmer afternoon, which produced a decent late-season showing of scoters and yet another good flight of Red-throated Loons. The Razorbill streak continues, courtesy of a trio that passed by early in the morning, and Common Eiders were on the move again this morning.
